Hello Craftsters! I just finished my first dress ever and I'm so excited to show it to you guys. =)

Tomorrow night my family is going out to eat for my parents' birthdays, and I had nothing to wear. I've been wanting to make a dress for a long time, and I thought this was the perfect excuse to do so! I love the fabric it's made out of, dark blue and very soft. It took two hours to make. Best part is, it probably cost less than $5 to make!

After many tries and wasted fabric, I finally managed to make a shirt like this that I'll actually wear. I messed up on the sleeves a bit, and the buttons aren't quite even. Ugh. But I'm happy with it for the most part. And I got this fabric for $1 a yard, woo!

This used to be my mom's over-sized turtleneck long sleeve shirt, which I resized, changed the neckline, and shortened the sleeves. I wish I would've taken a before picture. Oh, well. It was bad, believe me. It's not perfect at all, and I made a lot of mistakes, but it was my first time with sleeves and I can actually wear this out. So I'm pretty proud of myself.

Hey Craftsters! These are some thank you cards I made for some birthday gifts I got.. I used the shaving cream trick that's posted on here, drew a butterfly and glued it on the front, then sewed up the sides. Tell me what you guys think!
